After Action Report
The Bulls outlasted the Pistons 113-99. Bulls' offense had its way with the Pistons. Bulls' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Bulls bench chemistry carried them. Bulls' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Bulls · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
